So I have the first half of the City Flourish collection,
and have already worn 5 of the 6 polishes by the time this post is being written.
The next half will be arriving in about another week's time,
so hopefully, I'll be able to get them all tried out,
and have a complete series of posts on the collection.

Well hopefully.
Since at this point in time,
I'm not particularly impressed with the 5 that I have already worn.
It seems like the 5 polishes come with a different matte finish that made application difficult.
Difficult but not impossible.

The 5 polishes that I've worn so far,
all seem to dry pretty quickly,
so much so, the coats can go on patchy.

What I've found helpful is this little routine:
1) Put on the first coat, and don't bother that its going on patchy
2) Wait for the first coat to dry completely
3) Put on a second thicker coat by "floating" it on top of the first coat.

If you are lucky, you'll be able to get away with 2 coats.
If not, you can repeat step 3 for a third coat.

I'll also recommend using Seche Vite TC or HK Girl TC on these too,
as I find that these topcoats have this ability to "blend away" the unevenness you may have.

Hopefully, this will help those of you who would love these pastel colours.
Now, onto the first 2 polishes to be posted:

In a Lily Bit,
3 coats + 1 coat HK Girl TC.
A very light lilac crème that is almost white.

Hey guys, I'm back.
I'm so sorry that the Valentine Week seemed to end a little abruptly,
followed by the lack of post for the past week.

Well, I fell incredibly ill suddenly,
so blogging was the last thing on my mind really.
To cap things off,
I got so giddy when I stood up,
I fell badly and broke a tooth.

Yeah. It was a pretty bad week.

But I didn't let that stop me from enjoying nail polish.
In fact, those events just provided me an excuse to go on a polish spree.
Of course, it didn't help that there was a beauty fair just the past Monday.
I'll post the hauls up separately.

Heh. This also means I've got to clear space again.
So there'll be a purge post tomorrow at 9 am Sg time.
Stay tuned for it!
In fact, I got some of the new China Glaze City Flourish polishes up for grabs.

In the meantime,
today's post features the nail polish I wore when I had my fateful fall:
